There’s something so tender and timeless about first birthday milestone sessions, and Patton’s was the perfect example of how less really is more.

I’m […]

Fresh 48 Session | Mercy Hospital – Rogers, Arkansas On June 14th, just as the summer sun started to dip behind the Ozark hills, the world got a little sweeter with the arrival of Miss Winnie Jean. I had the joy of documenting her Fresh 48 session the next day at Mercy Hospital in Rogers, […]

There are some sessions that just flow like magic- and sweet baby Winnie’s newborn session was one of those. Her mama had hired me for both maternity and newborn portraits, which meant she received one of my favorite gifts to give: a complimentary Fresh 48 session. (It’s just one of the ways I love to […]

When Henry’s mom Caitlin reached out to schedule his newborn session, I was thrilled to have them in the studio. But like any good […]

I first met Dillon and Katie back in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, when they reached out after having their first daughter, Raegan. With so many photographers unavailable or unwilling to take […]

There’s something sacred about those very first days. The hospital room hums with newness, exhaustion, fierce love—and the tiniest cries that somehow carry the biggest weight. I had the honor of capturing Charles Scott Wood’s Fresh 48 session at Washington Regional while he was still getting cozy in his bassinet… and oh, what a session […]
